ICONIC Board formally recognizes sound healing and vibrational therapy programs meeting ICONIC Board's education hour standards as meeting prerequisite education requirements for the corresponding IBC credential tiers.
ICONIC Board of Holistic Health recognizes sound healing and vibrational therapy education programs meeting ICONIC Board's education hour standards as meeting the prerequisite education requirements for the corresponding IBC holistic health credential tiers. Graduates of these programs may be eligible to apply for the relevant IBC credential, subject to meeting all additional Board requirements.
Recognized programs include those meeting the International Association of Sound Healers (IASH) curriculum standards, Globe Institute of Sound and Consciousness programs, and equivalent programs offering comprehensive training in vibrational modalities including singing bowls, tuning forks, voice-based therapies, and frequency healing.
Sound healing and vibrational therapy are currently unlicensed at the state level across the United States. Practitioners operate within a professional self-regulatory framework. In the absence of state licensure, IBC-recognized program completion and professional designation serve as the primary markers of professional qualification.
Completing a listed program alone does not guarantee IBC credential eligibility. ICONIC Board recognizes programs based on comprehensive full-program completion at the level described. All IBC applicants must also demonstrate documented client practice hours, ethical conduct standards, and professional judgment.
The following programs and professional designations are recognized as meeting the education prerequisites for the corresponding ICONIC Board credential tiers.
